Instead, C and C++ code analysis is now performed by clang.

Does this mean that Clang/LLVM must be installed as a dependency in order to use KDevelop v5? Or, is KDevelop including the necessary libraries from Clang to support this? If that's so, then how is the licensing arranged? (I thought KDevelop and friends were GPL but LLVM/Clang were/are UIUC License. Not incompatible?)

They're likely using either libclang or something like castxml[1] (modern version of gccxml).

We're using libclang directly. You can find a lot of information about the Clang integration on our developer blogs (https://www.kdevelop.org/developer-blogs). Another good intro is at http://milianw.de/blog/katekdevelop-sprint-2014-let-there....

Hope that helps!
